Johnson & Johnson has been ordered by a California jury to pay $29 million to a woman after she blamed the talcum-powder-based products for causing her mesothelioma.
The verdict was awarded on Wednesday after jurors found the talc-based products used by Leavitt were defective and consumers were not warned about the health risks.
It marks the latest defeat for the firm, which faces more than 13,000 talc-related lawsuits nationwide.
The New Jersey-based company, however, said it would appeal, citing “serious procedural and evidentiary errors” during the trial.
